PACCSA ski lessons

PACCSA offers free group lessons throughout the ski season. No registration is necessary - just be at the meeting point on time and ready to go.

For lessons at Laurel Ridge XC Ski Center the meeting point is the flat area beside the concession building (this is the wooden building nearest to the parking lot). As you walk up to the building from the parking lot, the lesson area is on the left.

The lessons usually last around an hour. Instruction is given on the basic skills of classic nordic skiing - falling and rising, balance drills, diagonal stride, use of poles and also hill technique. This is followed by short trek on the trails to practice these skills, which also provides an opportunity for individual critique to be given.

The instructors are PACCSA members. Participants are not required to join PACCSA.
